Port of Xylokastro

Older hotel in a good location. Elevator really frightening for a US city girl. Expected it to be a bit more modern. View off of balcony not worth any extra cost.

Hotel location was good, metro line bus and walking (if you are not intimidated by 30 min walks). As solo traveler, first time in Greece, booked hotels with rooftops/bar but it was Sep 28-Oct 1st ,they closed everyday excusing and blaming on cold weather, but not totally true. So paid for amenities not available. Downstairs coffee shop charged $4.50 Eu for a cappuccino, it costs $2.50 next door. Great bakery & gourmet food by kilo next door. Room spacious, but had noisy engine outside, so had to keep window closed at night and get used to it. Small shower is inside a high bath tube , requires a high step in, (if elderly or balance problems might be an issue): breakfast had a variety (but very oily eggs and food, not the best for my taste). Bed was old, I could see broken frame, very hard mattress and pillows, quite uncomfortable for me. Staff were friendly hotel constantly being cleaned, luggage storage was helpful on arrival and departure.
